Is there a way to install an older version of Android platform-tools?


I have been hunting around for the afternoon to try to see if there is any way to install older versions of the Android platform-tools. I have tried via sdkmanager and by the older android version but all of them seem to always link to the latest version of platform-tools. I am trying to do this without Android Studio.

This also makes it difficult to create server's with the same version since it is constantly pulling the latest version when we provision a new system. I have looked at the release notes and noticed that depending on the build date our systems have different versions of the platform-tools.

Questions:

  1. Is there a way to download an older version of platform-tools either via command line or on the web?
  2. Is there a way I am missing to specify which version of platform-tools you want to install when using sdkmanager?

Thank you


Solution

  • Yes, you could download old version, https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r27.0.0-windows.zip is an example .

    change the version number in the link to get your wanted version. another example https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.0-windows.zip

    Edited: If you want to download specific platform tool via sdk manager, firstly uncheck unwanted platforms as below fig, and click apply. enter image description here
